Funny words your YT knows Max and Teddy know "pizza" means they are going to get a tiny shred of parmesan cheese. I will say, "I'm going to make pizza" and they come running and stand in front of the cabinet that holds the pizza pan. They know "payment" means a kibble for doing something good. When they hear payment, they stand in front of the cabinet with the kibble can. What funny words do your YTs know? |
When I say "who needs their medicine?" they come running into the kitchen for a tint scoop of cottage cheese or a dab of peanut butter. I hide Max's pills that way. Cooper doesn't get any pills but I don't want to leave him out. He gets "fake medicine". :D |
hmmm, the funniest thing is that Hot Rod loves to lay in the sun. If I'm in another part of the house he's usually with me so when I see that the sun is shining into the living room, I will tell him to go lay in his sun and off he goes. It's about the only time he will not be my shadow, lol |
When I say, "wanna go for a walk," Eddie hides because he doesn't like putting on booties in winter. But when I say "Let's go to work," he comes to me because he knows he's going to get treats at his therapy dog visit and he only has to wear a coat. Same goes for when I say "Wanna go for a car ride?" |
well Mine do know some words that are cute but they also know some cute things like to bark and let us know a cat needs in |
Mine know when I say "salad" that they get their veggies. The German vets here recommend supplementing their diets with veggies so we give them baby carrots. I know they mean cooked veggies because of the whole cellulose thing but mine only like crunchy veggies. Also mine never could figure out the word "no" so we use an "aaaht" sound or the German slang word for no pronounced "neigh". We also use the German word for sit too since they never got the word sit. Sometimes I wonder if my furbutts only speak German. |

My old horse trainer was Swiss, so we rode horses that "spoke" Swiss/German, It's odd looking at my riding style it's very European, and I occaisionally would find myself saying the few words I knew in Swiss too :cool:. |
Bubba and Sissy know the word "carrot" and they run to the refrigerator. They also understand "go get a drink", "want to go for a walk/ride",and Bubba understands "go get me a ball", "no not that one, the other one". Of course they both understand "do you want a treat". They also understand when I say, "Mommy is going to work-go say goodbye (they run to the living room, get up on the chair by the window and watch me leave)". My dh says they also understand "it's time for Mommy to come home (and they wait by the kitchen door)". Bubba understands "want to go see Dr. S----, he loves the vet." . They both understand "want a bath (because they both disappear)". Heaven know what else they understand, sometimes it's scarey. They also recognize places. They know the road to the park, the road to my daughters house and our road and get excited when we turn onto those roads. |
Remy's vocabulary is actually quite impressive. He knows quite a few words, you can practically have a conversation with him at times "ready to go" = heading out the door "visit" = going to see a friend or family "travel" = getting on a plane and in his celltei 'going to the office" = he is going with us to work "in the car" = pretty straightforward, lol "overnight" = means he is staying overnight with my parents bc we are traveling on business "going to get coffee" = a walk to coffee shop "remy's shirt" = he needs a sweater bc its cold "visitors" = we are having people over "i have work" = no playing and he should lay down b/c I have work to do "chicken" = we are making a whole chicken for dinner and he will get a bite "what are you supposed to do" = he should sit bc we are in the elevator "go say hi" = he can great a stranger "go get your toy" = we will play fetch with him "hurry up" = he is taking too long sniffing around and should just do what he has to do :) He knows family and friend's names He knows all the standard stuff like treat, play, food, water, potty, sit, lay down, outside, etc. |
I messed up the command rollover so I had to use "flip" instead. When I say treat she runs to the cabinet and barks like crazy. When I say walkies she cries until she's out the door because I take too long lol. And when she gets something she's not too happy about for dinner like liver or other organ meat she sits there till I ask "are you done?"- then she quickly gobbles it up. |
If I ask mine if they "wanna coke?" they dance, prance and pace, until I take them to Sonic for a diet coke. But I get the coke and they get a treat. :D |
Mine disappears when she hears the word "work". Can't say I blame her! Its because I say "I've gotta go to work now" and she wants to hide because she knows she's going in the kennel. Although she loves going in there when I happen to be in that room. She knows lots of words & phrases, but I think it funny that she knows "teethy time" she's going to get her teeth brushed, and while I'm brushing them I'll say "flip side" and she'll change sides so I can do the other side of her mouth. |
Ready, walkies, car, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Levi, Aunt Katrina, treats, breakfest, dinner, let's go see the kids, and the big bad crate!! He also knows, "Let's go to bed" when I say this, he'll walk into our bedroom and sit at the floor near the bed looking up at it and waiting to be lifted onto it. Little stinkers are too smart. |
Rocco understands a lot of words and full sentences. Here are a few: "Go wake up Nick" = run to my son's bed and kiss his face until he is awake. Very convenient little trick on school mornings. "Let's go downstairs" = go into finished basement to play ball "Need a bully stick?" = mommy gets a fresh new bully stick "Where's daddy?" = run and find daddy "Night night time" = head to his bed "Wanna go to the bank?" = get ready for a ride through the drive through and get 'bank biscuits', aka junk food "Give mommy hug" = while I am holding him, he immediately rests his head on my shoulder, against the bend of my neck. This is my favorite! |
Mine has just recently learned something I've taught all my babies. "Who's that!?!" Basically used if I hear something strange and want my little alarms to go off. They both get up and do their little growl and looking around then looking at me. hehe Then they start barking their little heads off and end up where I hear the noise coming from. So cute. |
I hesitate to post this... but if Peek a Boo could talk, he could outcuss a drunken sailor! (He came to me knowing many, many four letter words) I tested him by using some of the words in a normal, conversational tone of voice. As soon as I say one, he hitails it off under the bed! Every time! My poor little man...:( |

Bet you tease them a lot with that one. Nice to know i'm not the only little stinker too. I like blowing gently in Brandi's face to see her reaction....she absolutely hates it but it so freakin cute. Anyway Brandi knows, "wanna go outside", 'give mommy a kiss"......my favorite because she will gently lick me on the nose and of course "wanna go eat". She responds to sounds as well. When she hears the refrigerator door open, her and the cat come running into the kitchen every single time. Even when I try to be sneaking and open it very quietly, I look down and they are both standing there expecting a treat. |
Sophie Kate knows what a "Huggy Kissy" means, you say give me a "Huggy Kissy" and she will rest her front legs on your shoulder and kiss your face. She only does that to a few people she really likes (me, the Vet, my friend Debbie). |
When Andy met the neighbors Chesepeak He went nuts. So now if I'm going outside, he gets all excited. I say " You wanna go see Bella?" and he just about jumps in my arms! He goes out and waits by the fence, the whole time scanning the neighbors yard for Bella. |
Some of the funniest things Levi has picked up on... Distinguishing between "treat" and "stick" - treat being any small treat, and stick being a long-lasting chew. He definitely knows the difference in the two words. "Trade" means he has something he's not supposed to have (like my gate key, socks, pieces of paper) and he can trade it in for a treat. This has resulted in Levi deliberately stealing things he is not allowed to have because he wants a treat. "You want to..." followed by anything: "go outside, go for a walk, play, go for a ride, go to granny's..." - anytime he hears those three key words, he perks up and tilts his head. Nothing bad follows those three words. Little stinker! :p |

With mine "Do you want..." is definately true. The funniest though is Do you want to go get the mail? We live in a townhouse in a gated community. We have alleys behind our house and there is almost no traffic in the front. Every day (sometimes multiple times) my husband asks them if they want to go get the mail. He carries them to the mailbox (right in front of our house) and sets them down while he gets the mail out. Then all three of them have a race back to the front door. It is so cute. Now when he says "Do" their ears perk up; "you" they stand up and "want" they take off for the front door barking. |
Riot knows "drop it" but only if he gets ahold of something he shouldn't have, if he has one of his toys and you tell him to drop it, he takes off running. A "steak" is any kind of treat, "night night" is going up on my bed to watch tv before going to his bed for the night When I'm leaving for for more than a few minutes, I well him I "gotta go to work" and then he knows I won't be back for a while. If I leave and don't say I'm going to work, he will sit on the mat by the door until I come back, but if he knows I'm "working" he'll be ok to play with other people, sleep, look out the window, all that. The most fun though is "stick 'em up" I'll say it with my hand pointing like a gun he will stand on his back legs with his front paws in the air! I wanted to be able to have him stick 'em up then say bang bang! and have him play dead but he's 3 now and for the life of me I can't get him to play dead |
Aww, cute mailbox story! My rottie loved getting the mail with me! She would carry the mail back to the house, super cool and cute. "Wanna go" is definitely one of those key words for any dogs I own! |
I'm enjoying everyone's answers. :) "Do you want" always gets my boys' attention too. :) |

This one is right up there with the fake potty to get a treat:D. Brandi had been fooled for the longest time with the fake potty to get a treat. Stupid me.....I actually thought she was really pottying. :p They are so freakin smart. |
Uh-oh! That is how I trained Kacee to not potty where she wasn't supposed to go. Now everytime I say that word her head swivels and she looks me straight in the face. It's hilarious!:D OK. OK means yes!:p |
If I say "Do you...." I immediately have her attention. She's almost always waiting for me to say "wanna go with me" or "go to grandma's house". She gives me the guilt trip if I don't ask her. If I'm grabbing keys, coat, shoes, etc. I'll look down & she's sitting pretty, giving me puppy dog eyes! It kills me! Sometimes I don't ask her til she does it just so I can see it.:p Otherwise I say "you must wait, mommy be back" and she'll reluctantly stop "asking". She also knows "Mommy fix your hair" & will try to jump on the bathroom counter...or coffee table to get a top knot. Same goes for her harness. My fave thing she knows is "come here, mommy help you". This is if she's ever hurt, snagged, scared, cold, etc. She completely stops freaking out & let's me calm her, plus it gives me a chilled dog to try to fix the problem. |
